What do Aristotle’s ‘First Principles’ and a ‘Growth Mindset’ have to do with building great products? Andrew and Nathan dive deep into how these concepts fuel modern innovation, emphasizing rapid iteration, embracing failure, and learning from constant customer feedback. But when is this fast-moving approach dangerous? The conversation takes a fascinating turn into high-stakes environments, with stories from an advanced materials lab and the chaotic floor of a hospital emergency department, where changing a single workflow can have dire consequences. Finally, they explore the double-edged sword of today’s easy-to-build software, from the explosion of ‘fart apps’ to major privacy disasters like the ‘Tea’ dating app leak, asking if we’ve lost touch with the first principles of human connection itself.
The LFG episodes are the fortnightly recorded checkins between Andrew and Nathan, that they hope help inspire your curiosity and creativity. These are different from typical guest episodes as they are less focused on conversation.
